I need to clear
my head
my desktop
my attitude
I’ve got a lot to learn
before I speak

I watched this last night. I cried so hard that it was hard to breathe by the end. I’m glad I saw this, because it put things into perspective.This Kid Just Died. What He Left Behind Is Wondtacular.
Zach Sobiech, at the age of 14, found out he had a rare form of terminal cancer. So he became a rock star, and millions of people got to see his music before he passed away on May 20, 2013. This is his beautiful story.
From Adam, our curator: You never know what to expect until you lose someone dear to your heart this way. I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer far too early. If you wouldn’t mind sharing this so more people hear Zach’s story, I’d love it. His family has requested that anyone who is interested in helping change the fate for future children like Zach donate to the research fund set up on his behalf.
Please take just 22 minutes out of your day to watch this truly incredible and inspirational story.
This film definitely made me cry. Zach is a very inspiring person. 11:11 A.M. will be donating $500.00 to his cause. I recommend that everyone watch this.
Amy Stein - Domesticated (2008)
Artist’s statement:
“Within these scenes I explore our paradoxical relationship with the wild and how our conflicting impulses continue to evolve and alter the behavior of both humans and animals. We at once seek connection with the mystery and freedom of the natural world, yet we continually strive to tame the wild around us and compulsively control the wild within our own nature. Within my work I examine the primal issues of comfort and fear, dependence and determination, submission and dominance that play out in the physical and psychological encounters between man and the natural world. Increasingly, these encounters take place within the artificial ecotones we have constructed that act as both passage and barrier between domestic space and the wild.”
